Busy Saturday

Jeez, my Saturday turned out to be super packed!

I feel like Saturday’s are always my days to get all my housework, grocery shopping, and everything else that needs to be done so I can just relax on Sunday.

That is exactly what I plan to do :)

~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up and after a little coffee and light breakfast, I did a HIIT workout on the treadmill.

I was going to run outside but I was planning on taking a yoga class so ended up inside. It was hot and cloudy anyway.

I completed this workout then ended up running till 4 miles and walking till I reached 5 miles. Definitely a good one!

I also completed some yoga on exercise TV. Good enough for me :)

Today also included a lot of cooking..

Bentley got a bath that he wasn’t too happy about!

Finally cut open my pomegranate! It took quite a while to get all the aerials out but totally worth it. It’ll be good on yogurt, oatmeal, etc..

Cooked up some Tempeh to top my kale salads with! I’m in love with Kale all of a sudden.

A ton of grocery shopping occurred, so it was natural for this to happen.

Buy one seasonal drink, get one free. How can you pass that up? I also had a gift card so basically both were free;)

Skinny Peppermint Mocha w/ Soy Milk, pleaseandthankyou.

Don’t know why it was necessary to take a picture of me cooking, but I’ll roll with it.

And done! Wild Rice Soup. I’m excited to try it! Not great lighting at 8:30 pm. Boo =/

I can’t share the recipe with you all because it’s not mine, but I’ll tell you where I got it soon.

I also have some awesome news that I am super excited about but I’ll save that for a little later too ;)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

What days are your busiest?

Lazy Saturday, or lazy Sunday?

  4. Both Saturday and Sunday are usually busy for me, but Saturday is filled with the fun kind of busy. Sunday is just housework. Bleh.

  9. I can never turn down Starbucks! I had already had 2 cups of coffee yesterday, but after church my mom asked if I wanted to go to Starbucks – sure, why not? :) I always just get a coffee with soy or a soy mistro – and I sometimes get a pump of caramel in it!
